Tempest Theatre Group is proud to bring to life this all-new production of ROMEO AND JULIET – Shakespeare’s timeless tale of Love and Death – a story driven by the kind of headlong, fevered passions that only the impetuousness of youth can ever truly embrace. Bursting with life and energy, this sparkling production lights up the stage like a fireworks display - filled with brilliant sets and costumes, crystal clear performances, and vibrant breathtaking action choreographed and performed by some of the top stage fighters in the city.
